Csf v3.06 (generic)

It seems Lfd bans each IP 2 times in about 40 seconds one after another.

e.g. this log:

Fri Feb 8 15:47:26 2008 lfd: (CT) IP 81.174.65.77 found to have 186 connections - *Blocked in csf* for 10800 secs
Fri Feb 8 15:47:26 2008 lfd: (CT) alert email sent for 81.174.65.77
Fri Feb 8 15:48:07 2008 lfd: (CT) IP 81.174.65.77 found to have 109 connections - *Blocked in csf* for 10800 secs
Fri Feb 8 15:48:07 2008 lfd: (CT) alert email sent for 81.174.65.77

and it actually adds the IP to iptables 2 times and send 2 emails.

CT configuration:
CT_LIMIT = "100"
CT_INTERVAL = "50"
CT_EMAIL_ALERT = "1"
CT_PERMANENT = "0"
CT_BLOCK_TIME = "10800"
CT_SKIP_TIME_WAIT = "0"
CT_STATES = ""

Do you think this is a bug? or a too low checking interval?

Thanks,

Before you open a thread with a bug report, it is usually best to upgrade to the latest version. I believe this bug has been fixed in a post 3.06 release.

Thanks for your advice, I have upgraded to CSF v3.10 (generic), that is the latest I suppose.

However I still see that issue, but now it bans each IP address 10 times (10 emails, 10 entries in tempban and iptables - per each IP address).

What informaition you'd recommend to provide to help to identify the issue?

Thanks,
